Suddenly Nobles

Letter from the Village

"Why didn't you tell me the truth in the first place?" Eve stomps her feet profusely venting anger then pulls Lucas' shoulder to face him. "The king's favorite prince once stalked a woman and jumped over the balcony of her room. Imagine, what do you think people will think after I reveal it?"

Feeling that the place was quite quiet, Lucas leaned his shoulders with his hands together. "You're not gonna do it."

"Where does your confidence come from?"

"If you spread the news, not only will my name be tainted." Lucas smiled obliquely, "but your name too, Miss Lumiere."

"I'm not so stupid as to ruin my own name," Eve replied feeling victorious, "i'll make sure the name of the woman you 'visited' at the time will not be known to people."

"That means you don't have a conscience."

"What-what?!"

"How can you want to ruin your husband's reputation?" Lucas whispered right next to Eve whose face had turned as red as a tomato. "In the future, your reputation .. will be affected by my reputation. Therefore, as a candidate for a good *daughter, you should know what to do or vice versa."

Eve dumbfounded. "There is no husband and wife among us, you—"

"Don't be too hard." Lucas placed his index finger in front of his lips. "It's dangerous enough that someone knows our complicated relationship."

Hands clenched. His blue eyes flashed sharply then brandished his finger right in front of Lucas' face. "How dare you cut my words!" he is on the verge of patience. "Remember this. Even though I already know your status, it does not mean that I will be kind and obedient in the future. You're a seductress, you think I'd be lured to you?"

Lucas laughed out loud. "Male teasers?" then Beonya laughed again until she held her stomach. "Today I heard someone call me that. Thank you, it's an honor to have a special name for the girl I love."

"Crazy," Eve muttered in horror.

"I heard the curse, Lady."

"Whatever," Eve replied annoyed. For a long time with this person, maybe he will develop hypertension. "There's still a lot I have to do. Then excuse me, I hope we don't see each other again. Good bye."

Eve turned around without looking back again. Watching the small shoulder move away, Lucas again put on a flat expression with a hard-to-understand look.

"Your Highness, it turns out you're here." General Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief and immediately approached. "The Sassanian Highness is waiting for you. There's an emergency."

"Isn't His Majesty already there, why am I representing him again?"

General Nicholas shakes. "This time is not to represent," he answered quickly, "counting from now on you will participate in each meeting."

Lucas frowned, "What do you mean?"

"The Crown Prince is giving up his power." The general gulped dry when he realized Lucas' body was stiffening. Oh, why should he say this to the prince?

"Where is he now." Lucas is cold.

"The Crown Prince fled after breakfast. In addition, he was known to carry a lot of money and gems. With that much treasure, it doesn't rule out the possibility that His Royal Highness plans to go somewhere far out of our reach."

"This matter let me and His Majesty solve it. He must not have gone far. I'm sure." Lucas patted the general's shoulder. "It's too late. Come on, let's go to the hall now."

General Nicholas blinked, "Aren't you angry?"

"Compared to anger, my disappointment towards the Crown Prince is greater," he said casually. "I tried to give him a chance to prove that he was the most deserving candidate to be the next king. But look, what he's doing. Maybe my only effort for him was the wind. Not useful at all."

General Nicholas is shocked. So all this time the bad attitude that Prince Lucas displayed was done so that the Crown Prince was more viewed and trusted by the Sasanian higher ups. Quickly, Prince Lucas who from the age of six was famous for his expertise in government, suddenly turned around to be an unruly person and at will. Queen Ashley, whose incident is a stepmother, has even given up advising Prince Lucas who impliedly hates her.

"Hurry, general."

General Nicholas flinched. Seeing that Lucas had already walked ahead of him, the man immediately followed behind.

...----------------...

Day by day passed. From that day on, Eve never saw Lucas again either in the flower shop or on the balcony of her room. The guy's busy, maybe.

Eve shook her head. Why think of this strange man?

"Milady."

Eve looked lazy. Sticking on the balcony, accompanied by a sprig of tulips placed in a vase filled with water, and a gentle wind succeeded in making his eyes almost completely closed.

"What's up, Lily?"

Lily handed him a brown envelope that was given a red stamp.

Eve has not yet welcomed the envelope. "Another party?"

"I got it from the introduction of the unofficial letter in front of the castle," Lily replied honestly, "Seeing from the place, it looks like this letter is from the village where you used to live, My Lady."

"From village?" Eve greeted the letter with joy. The distinctive aroma of coffee emanates from the letter. Really fragrant. Once opened, Eve finds a handwriting that she believes came from Aunt Sese.

Greetings, My Lady Luvena Calistee Lumiera

After the day you announced, we have not heard from you at all. As a parent, Lady Margaret was so worried, so was I. Dozens of letters have been sent every day through official mail delivery services but to this day replies from you have never been obtained.

We know something's wrong. Therefore, Lady Margaret took the initiative to send this letter through an unofficial delivery service. We hope that this letter can get into your hands and get a reply as soon as possible.

The important thing I want to say is that lately Lady Margaret has been sick a lot. A few days ago, he could only lie limp on the cot. Uncle Johan helped us a lot but the medicine in the village was very limited and the price was quite high. Initially Uncle Johan went with Garlein to the city to buy the limited medicine. Only, their arrival was taken for granted as the medicine-making grounds were dominated by the nobles. You understand, right?

After reading this letter I hope you understand what to do. With the same status, it is easy for you to get those medicines from them. Sorry troublesome. If Lady Margaret hadn't been sick, I wouldn't have urged you like this.

Aunt Sese

Eve sat up straight. There were so many irregularities that he got from the letter that Aunt Sese wrote. First, why the letter from them never once landed safely in his hands when using official shipping services. And the second, Lady Margaret, her mother had hardly ever been sick. At worst, only a mild cough and it will heal in two days.

And the nobles who were in the place of the medicine .. they should be given a proper lesson.

"Lily, prepare ink and paper for me."

Lily looked down respectfully before passing. "Good."

Eve looked far away. Various strategies were already planned in his brain. After delivering a letter through an unofficial delivery service, Eve will meet Declan and they go together anyway.

With or without the permission of the Duke of Lumiere.

*a woman who is married to a prince who is not a successor to power (crown prince) will be given the title of princess or based on the power of her husband. For example, the Duchess of Lumiere who follows the name of the Duke of Lumiere when Zachary was a prince.
